Common Tests

electrocardiogram (EKG)

An EKG is a record of the heart's electrical impulses. It can identify abnormalities in heart rate and rhythm, and it can help to establish whether the heart muscle is receiving enough oxygen.

Exercise Stress Test

An exercise stress test monitors the effects of treadmill exercise on blood pressure and EKG and identifies any exercise stress-related abnormalities.

Coronary Angiogram

A series of X-rays of the coronary arteries. The coronary angiogram is considered the most accurate way to measure the severity of coronary disease. During an angiogram, a thin, long, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into an artery in the forearm or groin, then threaded through the circulatory system into one of the two major coronary arteries. Dye is then injected to show the flow within the coronary arteries and to identify any areas of narrowing or blockage.
